Needle of Death Lyrics
When sadness fills your heart
And sorrow hides the longing to be free
When things go wrong each day
You fix your mind to 'scape your misery
Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
How strange, your happy words
Have ceased to bring a smile from everyone
How tears have filled the eyes
Of friends that you once had walked among
Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
One grain of pure white snow
Dissolved in blood spread quickly to your brain
In peace your mind withdraws
Your death so near your soul can't feel no pain
Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
Your mother stands a-cryin'
While to the earth your body's slowly cast
Your father stands in silence
Caressing every young dream of the past
Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
Through ages, man's desires
To free his mind, to release his very soul
Has proved to all who live
That death itself is freedom for ever more
And your troubled young life
Will make you turn
To a needle of death
And sorrow hides the longing to be free
When things go wrong each day
You fix your mind to 'scape your misery
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
Have ceased to bring a smile from everyone
How tears have filled the eyes
Of friends that you once had walked among
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
Dissolved in blood spread quickly to your brain
In peace your mind withdraws
Your death so near your soul can't feel no pain
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
While to the earth your body's slowly cast
Your father stands in silence
Caressing every young dream of the past
Had made you turn
To a needle of death
To free his mind, to release his very soul
Has proved to all who live
That death itself is freedom for ever more
Will make you turn
To a needle of death

Sends shivers down the old spine...TheWiseHermit sums it up perfectly.
was about a friend junkie who died. he's deliberately given it a simple theme that sums up lifes worth.
